Empirical research into business-to-business e-commerceissues involving manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is still embryonic. In an attempt to partially fill this gap, this paper presents empirical data from an electronic survey conducted among 96 manufacturing SMEs to investigate e-commerce
initiatives and their perceived benefits for adopting firms.
E-commerce initiatives are assessed in this study usinga set of 36 business processes that can be executed using e-commerce tools. These processes were classifiedaccording to their focus: customer (downstream),supplier (upstream) or in-house. The research findings point to four main profiles for manufacturing SMEs with different e-commerce focuses. The first group seems to lack any focus or may still be exploring
e-commerce
opportunities. The second and third groups are supplier-and customer-focused, respectively.
